In 1951 the family purchased and developed a farm near Quincy, Washington.

For the next 40 years they called Quincy home and lived at their farm on Martin Road east of town. During that time their youngest son was born. Harriet was a "true" farm wife tending her garden, can- ning, cooking, baking and caring for her husband and four children. She was also active in the First Presbyterian Church of Quincy.

In 1991 they moved to Sequim to enjoy their retire- ment. They traveled in their motor home to Arizona for a number of years. Harriet loved being a wife and mother to her family and took great joy in spending time with her children and grandchildren. She was especially excited when she became a great grand- mother.
